Richmond is not an easy city to get to know. But it’s worth it. Wild places along the river, Carytown exotics, downtown restaurants, the canal district, Maymont park and the totally awesome Maymont House are all worth exploring. In fact, the Maymont House is worth the trip alone. If you liked the castles of Ludwig the 16th you will love this house. Kept in it’s pristine state it’s a local castle full of customized beauty. Breathtaking.
